Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Packer Workflows with Jenkins
Multipass I love Multipass for quick Ubuntu instances spun up for testing or as a playground. Wish I would have known and used of it sooner.

VMs on macOS using Apple's native Virtualization.Framework
If you just need Ubuntu then you can try "Multipass" from Canonical (https://multipass.run/). Works quite well on my M2 Air. I haven't tried using Linux GUI with it though as I need only terminal based VMs.

Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS
Multipass is pretty clutch for trivial VMs on MacOs for sure. I use it for a bunch of ssh jump boxes running vpns to different sites. The macOS build does not support custom images (lest not without [some truly insane hacks](https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/1260#issuecomm...) , which doesn’t really matter for what I use it for but it is kind of a bummer. If you need something with a little more grunt but don’t want to go full blown with writing your own QEMU tooling or fussing with something like UTM or Parallels, [quickemu](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu) is a really nice qemu wrapper with sane defaults that can expose a whole lot of power if you need it.

VirtualBox 7.0.10 download links have disappeared
I would be cautious or even distrustful of using anything from Oracle. VirtualBox components come under three different licenses - GPLv2, personal use & evaluation license, and an enterprise license. Their VirtualBox license FAQ [1] gives them enough leeway to change future licenses at will. If an exploit is discovered in your old VirtualBox and they've changed the license, you're out of luck.
We've moved our development to KVM and Virtual Machine Manager on Linux [3] and UTM on Mac [4]. There are other options to run your VM, such as Multipass [5] or VirtualBuddy [6].
On a digressive topic - it was fun migrating our legacy application server stack from Oracle Java (old & poorly considered decision) to OpenJDK, thanks to their license [2].

Hands-on Kubernetes and maybe go for a certification
If you have a reasonably beefy computer, you can always try setting up Multipass and set up 2-3 nodes for a k8s cluster, it's how I'm doing my own certification training. I do have a k3s Raspberry Pi cluster, but with Pi prices being what they are still it'd almost be cheaper to do a cloud setup. ☹️

How do I get real client IP inside docker container for logging to the database
Further reading online revealed that host network mode is not available for swarm started with docker stack deploy. (Possible related open issue: github link).

Serious Question: why use Docker Desktop? (from a Linux user)
Single-click k8s install. Extensions. Init. And there are people who just prefer an app-based experience for their own reasons - I think it was the most "upvoted" request ever on their public roadmap.

Ask HN: Is MacBook Pro 14 M1 16/512 still a great choice?
In case you need to run x86 containers: Docker has Rosetta support now but it's buggy.
https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/384
Without Rosetta it uses relatively slow Qemu emulation.

Docker's deleting Open Source images and here's what you need to know

So, at the moment, any public organization images are doomed to be lost, if they won't pay.

How's the M2 Max for Docker development?
I've been watching this GitHub issue for damn near 3 years. Filesystem performance is pretty bad, depending on what you're doing. I had to kludge together workarounds to my DX at my last role where we used Docker for development. It was really, really painful and distracting.
